Friendly visitor needed for an 88-year-old neighbor in Durham
Looking for a friendly person in Durham to visit Gabriela once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Gabriela, who's 88. Gabriela lives alone in Durham, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Gabriela loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person.
All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity.
No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience.
I hope life is good to you.

Best of luck. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend

Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Los Angeles.
